“To be saved is to be healed. For sin is a sickness of the soul, and Christ is the Divine Physician.”
—Origen of Alexandria
Palestine have very quietly reloaded. A new coaching staff has put together a 26-man squad that is in fighting shape. A mix between the current core, young blood promoted from the Olympic team, and talents recruited in the European diaspora.
The road to the World Cup begins on Thursday. Palestine faces rivals Jordan the first of four mat…
I have just been introduced to the music of Andrew Dittman, who composes and arranges for the liturgy and is based in Dallas, TX. This is where creativity should be focussed if we want to stimulate a beautiful, noble and accessible broader contemporary culture that speaks of Christian and Western values. His work is performable by any reasonable church choir.

It’s 2 a.m., and sleep still won’t come. Another restless night ahead. Every night this week has been a struggle, and I’m starting to feel it. If you have any tips or tricks that help you fall asleep, I’d love to hear them. 📝😴
It is time for me to (finally) make the jump and start my own Substack!

Saint Joseph, pray for us!

Specially for today, here is St Joseph in St Wilfrid's Oratory church, York.
Check out my new post! This commentary is on a 16th-century Dutch painting from Holland's House of Leiden collection. Aside from Mary and Christ, we see just two objects: an apple and a pear. They may seem like minor details, but there is much to say about them!

Absolutely incredible episode.
Of particular note, when John Eldredge quotes Pascal saying faith is “God as perceived by the heart”, he praises the mind but notes that it was “designed to protect the heart, not to supplant it.”
It occurs to me now that the unique evil already inherent in AI — the temptation to supplant the mind for someth…

OK, testing out NCAA tourney model update process after the first two First Four games. UNC looks like a tough out in the next round.
These updates won’t usually be so quick, often waiting until the morning, as the process is definitely not fully automated, to say the least. Please let us know if anything looks funky.

First of all, it’s monstrously ugly. Liberty’s angular features anticipate the primitive, brutal neoclassicalism of Art Deco at its very worst. Were it not so iconic, it would most definitely strike us as hopelessly dated. Even the concept—a huge metal statue standing on an island in the bay—is tasteless.
Secondly…
Here, and I discuss why he got banned from X, and why his reporting on the hacked Trump campaign materials is also being blocked by Facebook, Threads, Instagram, and even Google Drive.
Ken Klippenstein is incredibly lucky to have been banned from all those total crap platforms. Congrats!!! I hope he will now write a tutorial teaching the rest of us how to get kicked out of social media culture.
Seriously guys, WHY are we still talking about X, Facebook, Threads, Instagram etc???
And WHY are we still talking about those crap platforms on a new social media platform which is essentially imitating all the others?
Why not leap out of the social media era, and create a new long f…

I have one subscriber who reads a single chapter of my book every week, than emails me every Sunday morning with his feedback.
He's 75, and has no idea how to use the Substack app. He will never see this note.
It makes my entire week when I get his email. He is a wonderful soul, funny and lovely, and he keeps me moving forward.
How do I even repay that?
